Eil Frag 1III/2 — sunnr ‘in the south’

Setbergs kveða sitja
sunnr at Urðar brunni;
svá hefr ramr konungr remðan
Róms banda sik lǫndum.

Kveða sitja setbergs sunnr at brunni Urðar; svá hefr ramr konungr Róms remðan sik lǫndum banda.

They say that [he, Christ] sits on a seat-shaped crag in the south at the well of Urðr <norn>; thus the strong king of Rome [CHRIST] has strengthened himself in the lands of the gods.

readings

[2] sunnr: ‘suðr’ all

notes

[2] sunnr ‘in the south’: All mss have suðr; however, the form sunnr, an early form of suðr (ANG §261), produces the correct aðalhending with brunni (SnE 1998, I, 201).
